(Residential recycling service not available in every service area.)

Residential Collection Service

Residential service consists of one (1) time-per-week collection of waste materials from your home. Containers are to be placed at the curb or in a rear alley. To prevent our collectors from overlooking your refuse and recyclables, containers should not be obstructed in any way.

Return Check Charge

Due to the costs associated with processing return checks, a return check charge will be added to the balance due if a check is returned to us by the bank for any reason. In the event that a returned check results in the interruption of service due to non-payment, service will not be resumed until payment of the past due balance, service reinstatement fee and a returned check charge have been received in our business office.

Service Reinstatement

Services discontinued for non-payment will not be resumed until the total balance due is paid in full and a service reinstatement fee has been paid.
